The Man Who Knew Too Little Reviews

Loved this movie. I laughed till I cried. Then had to watch it again all in one sitting. It has become our families favorite movie and we know all the lines. Like "We go for port" or " "a little pocket rocket" and "What'd you do? Poke yourself in the eye and say my dog is dead!" Hysterical!

This is a kind of spoof that was done before but always fun. This one is well done enough. I think it's the best of Bill Murray I've seen in the past 14 months. The action is going quickly and the way they set Murray to come out unscathed and victorious all the time is unexpected often and hilarious often enough. Joanne is pretty funny also. Some predictable moments, dull moments, and too dumb bandits moments were not enough to yawn and give up, the film tended to bounce right back into it.

Excellent idea for a movie. But he ended up annoying me a lot. Could've been more cogent.I didn't follow the narrative at all. Maybe it's my fault, but it shouldn't force that much attention out of me.

This movie is hilarious! I've seen it several times and it still takes my complete attention when it's on. This is easily in my top 10 movies, and the best part is hardly anyone knows about it, which makes me fell like I have a secret treasure. I would say that it will require you to envelope yourself in it, but if you do you are in one for one heck of a ride!

It's a thin premise: a regular guy gets caught up in international intrigue, the spy game, without being aware of it. And so it becomes a personality vehicle instead. Guess who's personality? It works sometimes, but mostly not.

A one-joke comedy that wants to carry the absurdity of its premise throughout the entire plot. At first it is a funny idea but it wears out faster than expected, with not many smart twists to keep the story fresh, but at least Bill Murray makes it an amusing experience.

Really funny flick. Is it art? No. Is it Ghostbusters funny? No. I can see why the film aficionados dislike it. But for us regular joes just looking for a laugh, this move is a lot of fun. Suspend disbelief, don't go in expecting a comedy classic, and enjoy it for what it is and you'll have a great time.
